Knowledge distillation [1]}, [2]}
was originally proposed for distilling information from a larger
teacher model to a smaller student one. Generalized distillation
[3]} provides a framework for using privileged
information, i.e., information which is available at training time
only. Most related to our work is the use of different modalities or
views of the same content [4]}, [5]},
e.g., transcribed narrations to learn visual representations in
instructional videos. We leverage screenplays as a source of
privileged information and distill knowledge about events, characters,
and scenes in a film, which we subsequently exploit for identifying
trailer-worthy shots in video.
